Unemployment Challenge

Ohh yes, it's back again, to give you the most horrid and beautiful times you may ever experience on a football manager simulation game. The aim of this challenge is, instead of taking control of a club/nation like you may normally do so; instead you will begin the game unemployed and your reputation should be set as Sunday league footballer. To become employed, you will need to apply for a job and accept a contract, this is more than likely to be from a non-league/lower league side. You will need to load up leagues from the following countries in Europe: England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany.

The aim is then to work your way up the divisions until you are managing one of the biggest clubs in Europe, those being the teams listed below:

England

  • Manchester United
  • Arsenal
  • Chelsea
  • Liverpool

    Spain

  • F.C. Barcelona
  • Real Madrid
  • Valencia

    Italy

  • AS Roma
  • Inter Milan
  • AC Milan

    Germany

  • Bayern Munich

    France

  • Lyon


    Once you've received the managerial position at one of the above mentioned clubs, you will have completed the Unemployment Challenge !
    There will be a leaderboard included in this thread giving the names of everybody who has attempted this challenge in order of completion.

    Screen-shots of your career path will need to be provided to show that you have not cheated and taken over any clubs. If anything looks suspicious, I impose the right to ask for further proof.

    Please make sure you register here first before attempting the challenge...

    If you have any quesitons or queries, please feel free to send me a message via NeoPM or ask any quesitons in this thread. Also, if you see anything I've missed out, feel free to let me know.

    Looks good. I enjoyed Biggestboo's one on FM07, and I'll try it out myself on FM08. Won't be starting for a while yet though.
